About Office Solitaire
Office Solitaire bends the classic color-sort genre by layering a suit-and-color constraint onto the familiar pile-to-pile transfer. Rather than simply grouping by color, you must alternate red and black while building downward sequences, all while feeding suited runs to the top row. The deck adds a timed draw element, and empty columns only accept kings, forcing strategic space management.
There’s something so satisfying about dragging cards into neat suited stacks, ace through king. Office Solitaire keeps the classic challenge tight — every move needs a little thought, and one wrong placement can mess up your whole flow. It’s that perfect mix of patience and strategy. Super addictive once you get going.
How to Play Office Solitaire
- Click the deck to deal new cards.
- Drag cards between the seven stacks to build descending sequences that alternate red and black.
- Move an entire stack or a portion of it by clicking and dragging the topmost card of the sequence.
- Place aces on the top row to start suited foundation piles, then add the next card of the same suit in ascending order.
- Only a king may be placed on an empty column in the playing area.
Tips & Strategies
- Free up aces and twos early by moving blocking cards to other stacks.
- Prioritize moving cards from larger stacks to reveal hidden cards underneath.
- Only move a king to an empty column when you have a clear plan to fill it.
- Use the deck draw sparingly; try to expose cards from the tableau first.
- Aim to build evenly across all foundation suits rather than focusing on one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I click the deck?
Clicking the deck deals three cards to a waste pile (or one card in easy mode). You can then drag the top waste card to a tableau stack or foundation.
Can I move a partial stack?
Yes, you can drag any sequence that is in descending order and alternating colors. The entire sequence moves together.
How do I win the game?
You win by moving all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, each in suited order from ace to king.
What is the undo limit?
You can undo unlimited moves, but undoing a deck draw also resets the waste pile.
Why can't I place a non-king card on an empty column?
The rules state only a king may start a new stack on an empty column. This prevents easy space exploitation.
